Xiang Yu escaped right under the noses of the Xuanling Sect members last time using a teleportation talisman.
Xiang Yuhe wanted to run away again, but his wishful thinking backfired!
Just as the teleportation talisman lit up, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, directly hitting Xiang Yu and the teleportation talisman behind him.
Before the teleportation talisman could even take effect, it was blasted with a hole.
Xiang Yu's expression changed drastically. He had always run away when he couldn't win a fight, but now that the teleportation talisman was broken, he couldn't run away anymore, and he panicked.
However, Xiang Yuhe maintained an arrogant demeanor on his face to conceal his inner turmoil.
Shui Qingchen was overjoyed to see Xiang Yuhe's expression.
"Xiang Yuhe, your sect competition is probably coming to an end here! Fire Ridge will be your final resting place." Shui Qingchen said calmly, a smile curving his lips.
Xiang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Does your Xuanling Sect intend to attack us just because you have more people? The Wuji Sect cultivators participating in the sect selection are no fewer than those of your Xuanling Sect! If you attack us, our fellow disciples will definitely avenge us!"
As he spoke, Xiang Yuhe secretly made another move, this time pulling out a communication talisman.
Each group in the Wuji Sect has its own means of communication, which relies on communication talismans. If they encounter danger, they can use the communication talismans to send messages to nearby Wuji Sect cultivators.
However, Su Qing could easily interrupt Xiang Yuhe's teleportation talisman, so a mere communication talisman would be no problem for her!
Xiang Yuhe's face was grim. He realized that a battle with the Xuanling Sect cultivators was inevitable.
"Since that's the case, Shui Qingchen, you shall die." Xiang Yu said, drawing a sword and heading towards Shui Qingchen.
Shui Qingchen held up a large hammer in front of him.
Xiang Yu was still thinking that in a one-on-one fight, Shui Qingchen was definitely no match for him. If he died, he could at least take Shui Qingchen down with him.
Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was wrong!
The moment Shui Qingchen blocked his sword, all sorts of attacks came toward Xiang Yuhe.
Xiang Yuhe, his face ashen, met his end amidst a flurry of attacks.
Liu Yi was dumbfounded. He hadn't even reacted yet, and Xiang Yuhe was already dead?
Good heavens, what just happened?
Liu Yi was now wondering why he hadn't fallen to the ground like the two Foundation Establishment peak cultivators when the Heavenly Gang Explosion Talisman exploded...
Su Qing walked up to Xiang Yuhe and removed all of Xiang Yuhe's storage space. Then she looked up at Liu Yi.
"You, you stay away!" Liu Yi took a step back in fear.
Su Qing looked at Liu Yi and said, "Do you want to live or die?"
Liu Yi certainly wanted to live.
"Then you should quit," Su Qing said.
Withdrawing from a sect competition is a very shameful thing, even a disgrace to the sect. So, any cultivator who withdraws may be safe for the time being, but they can never return to the sect and can only become a rogue cultivator.
But Liu Yi wanted to live, so he trembled as he took out the counting spirit stone and stared at it for a long time.
Since entering the Gobi Desert, Liu Yi has been assisting Xiang Yu, so the number displayed on his counting spirit stone is still zero.
Liu Yi took a deep breath and crushed the counting spirit stone.
Actually, there is a teleportation array inside the counting spirit stone. If you voluntarily want to be eliminated, you can crush the counting spirit stone, give up the sect competition, and then teleport away from the Gobi Desert!
The two Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators who were lying on the ground crushed their counting spirit stones as well when they saw Liu Yi crush them.
"At least you know when to back down!" Su Qing raised an eyebrow.
The right thing to do is to quickly break away from that rotten sect, the Wuji Sect, which is full of shameless scoundrels.
After eliminating those Wuji Sect members, continue deeper into the Fire Ridge.
On the outskirts, they dealt with several fifth-tier demonic beasts.
The fifth-tier demon beast's combat power was roughly equivalent to that of a Core Formation cultivator. Yue Lan and Wen An, two early-stage Core Formation cultivators, led two peak Foundation Establishment cultivators to attack together.
After defeating these fifth-tier demonic beasts, the four of them all improved their combat power considerably.
Especially those two Foundation Establishment peak cultivators, they have probably already touched the threshold of Core Formation.
If they can truly form their core, then all members of their two teams will be core cultivators, and their combat power will absolutely crush the other teams.
"Aww!"
A furious roar from a demonic beast rang out.
It's finally here!
Eighth-tier super monster, Azure-eyed Fire Lion.
At the crater, a majestic lion looked down at the human monks below.
How dare it hunt its underlings in its territory? A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion. It roared and charged towards Shui Qingchen and the others.
This eighth-tier super demon beast possessed combat power comparable to a peak Core Formation cultivator. Shui Qingchen took a deep breath, raised the large hammer in her hand, and said, "I'll go first!"
Shui Qingchen used to be an alchemist, but after entering the Gobi Desert, she realized that even though she was just an alchemist, she should also improve her combat power.
You can only grow stronger in battle.
Shui Qingchen held a pair of large hammers, each covered in flames, and stared intently at the blue-eyed fire lion before her.
This green-eyed fire lion has golden fur all over its body, shimmering with orange flames, and its pair of green eyes seem to gleam with flames as well.
This green-eyed fire lion clearly possessed a trace of dragon blood. It opened its blood-red maw and actually exhaled a breath of dragon fire.
As expected of an eighth-tier super monster, its combat power is much stronger than that of an eighth-tier monster!
"Elder Shui, be careful!" Yue Lan exclaimed, and saw a defensive barrier appear in front of Shui Qingchen, blocking the dragon's breath.
A one-on-one duel is the ultimate test of one's fighting spirit. Shui Qingchen took a deep breath; now it was her turn to attack.
"Come on!" Shui Qingchen shouted, swinging her hammer towards the head of the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion.
An orange armor appeared on the Azure-Eyed Fire Lion's body. It condensed fire into armor, roared, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced towards Shui Qingchen.
The hammer and the blue-eyed fire lion collided, and the heavenly fire and the orange flames collided, causing an explosion that cracked the surrounding ground.
"I never expected Elder Shui to actually go head-to-head with this Azure-Eyed Fire Lion," Su Qing couldn't help but say as she watched the scene unfold.
Yue Lan sighed, thinking to herself, "Junior Sister Su Qing, didn't you realize? Everyone is working so hard because you've motivated them."
Qiu Feiyang clenched his fists, his cheeks slightly flushed. He had known Shui Qingchen for so many years and knew that Shui Qingchen was a violent alchemist, but he had never met him in person.
Why did he feel that this violent portrayal of Shui Qingchen was more realistic than before?
